Networking weirdness

Trying to network my Debian 2.2/Corel Linux box to my [EMAIL PROTECTED] cable modem. Failing. No trouble getting my Mac and my Windows box to talk to the modem, but the same settings fail on my Linux box. The thing is, I'm pretty sure everything is set right on my Linux box. Apart from them all

DNS lookups fail

2000-03-22 Thread Guyren G Howe
I have somehow managed to get things so that the computers going through my Debian 2.2 box for NAT can do DNS just fine, but I can't do a nslookup from the same box itself to save myself. nslookup never returns anything, even a timeout. My /etc/resolv.conf file shows the same things I have set on

While there is a debian netatalk distribution, I can't find any useful documentation for getting it working. Most of the instructions I can find refer to compiling and installing it on Red Hat, and the instructions don't match what I have. I've tried searching the debian archive, but it never turn

Okay, so I'm in different package hell this time. In trying to install a sound driver, dselect has somehow decided to remove most of the software on my computer. I'm talking as far as removing apt-get and a bunch of other system utilities. Plus, when I try to re-fetch anything with dselect, I get

How do I give access to X from anything other than root? I get an error that the user is not allowed to run X. I realise that this probably involves xauth. But the explanations I can find about how it works might as well be in Greek. They all talk about the name of the host, for example. Why shoul

KDE stuff under other desktops (and desktop recommendations)

2000-01-14 Thread Guyren G Howe
I want to get right into customising this thing (currently ranked as newbie). So I installed the Afterstep desktop instead of KDE. Kinda nice, in many ways. But I miss some of the nice little apps from my Corel KDE stuff. I've found that I can fire up the file browser by executing CorelExplorer.
